Those who rise early Having scored three more runs than any other side in a single tournament, Hyderabad’s strong batting line has enjoyed the best IPL 2024 season of any squad. That being said, a first-base hit was the source of all those runs. Settting the target instead of allowing his team to bat first, Royal Challengers Bengaluru captain Faf du Plessis denied his squad the opportunity to bat first on Thursday in Hyderabad. SRH capitulated under the strain of the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium scoreboard, despite the fact that RCB’s 206 was scarcely a match total. The club Dafabet, Kavya Maran, became enraged by their terrible batting display.
SRH’s top-order, which has been the foundation of their batting dominance, was rendered absolutely disorganised by the way the RCB exploited the opportunity to take advantage of the track. After Abhishek Sharma counterattacked and scored 31 off 13 balls, off-spinner Will Jacks removed Travis Head for only one run.
Du Plessis substituted in legspinner Karn Sharma to do further pain. Karn Sharma immediately got rid of Abdul Samad and Nitish Kumar Reddy, destroying the run chase for SRH entirely. When Samad took his sixth wicket, Maran, who was watching from the grandstand, became quite angry. The comment quickly went viral on social media, sparking a hateful meme frenzy. Several responses are shown here.
At forty, Shahbaz Ahmed was still undefeated, but SRH captain Rummy Modern gave the squad some hope with a blazing 31 runs in 15 balls. It left the hosts with little option but to defend their net run percentage when the captain was withdrawn.
Trailing by 35 runs, SRH was only able to muster 171 for eight. Though RCB, who ended their six-match losing streak with their first victory in a month, managed to hold onto tenth place in the IPL 2024 points table, they did manage to hold onto third place.
